#406 of 428 Ethanol ? Re: Fuel Issues [jim314] by rayainsw Jul 08, 2009 (5:22 am)
Replying to: jim314 (Jul 07, 2009 11:38 pm) Alternative fuels   Ethanol   Fuels containing up to 10% Ethanol (grain alcohol) may be used. Ensure that the fuel has octane ratings no lower than those recommended for unleaded fuel. Most drivers will not notice any operating difference with fuel containing Ethanol. If a difference is detected, the use of conventional unleaded fuel should be resumed.   XF manual .pdf = page 167 \ Fuel and refueling

Replying to: jim314 (Jul 07, 2009 11:38 pm) Thanks for clearing that up! Its been quite a challenge while travelling to find gas with no ethanol! And as far as your reference to dependency on foreign oil, We should simply lift the idiotic enviromental regs placed on U.S oil companies and produce the Trillions (yes, TRILLIONS) of barrels of oil from here in our own backyards. But hey, this is a Jag forum, not a soap box, so my apologies! Thanks again for the response! Replies to this message: jim314 (Jul 10, 2009 12:14 am)

Replying to: hush (Jul 09, 2009 7:44 pm) I don't think all gasoline engine cars sold in the US must be able to take fuel with up to 10% ethanol.   I maybe wrong. but I think that even if they don't have a sign stating that it contains ethanol, it may still be there.
#409 of 428 XF Noise and other issues by catatonicxflvr Jul 25, 2009 (10:12 am)
I have an XF SC, 3200mi, bought March '08. I have 4 cars and this is my favorite and planned on keeping it forever. So far it is had 3 batteries, the sound was lost after a phone call (see recall on that), it stalled on start, shook and died, CAT FAULT FAILURE message. Waited and tried again and smooth as silk. Into Jag for diagnosis. They came up with 3rd battery, and replace air filters. I am losing faith in taking this automobile out for a trip. The car gets thumbs up every time it is out. Also, frame tweaks when I turn into my driveway. Windows rattle, they are tinted, and Jag mgr says it is the tint? If I tap down a little on each window or put them all down, does not rattle. Seems to me to be the fit when window up against seal. Do not know what next step should be? One more failure may put me over the edge. The dealer has been very helpful. . I bought this over a Maserati sedan, no real new features, and a Bentley Continental, interior like Wal Mart. This is a classy car, but has its faults. I may have bought one of the first ones manufactured. Paid sticker, with all accessories, two people waiting behind me to buy it if I did not. Maybe I should have let them?

Replying to: hush (May 16, 2009 6:20 pm) I read this post some time ago. I took it with a grain of salt and thought "here is a an owner who thinks too much of his car." Then it happened to me. I live in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, left the car for a valet at the Westin hotel some days ago, on car pick up, the valet said with a big smile on his face, "sir, I drive BMWs, MBs and lots of cars, but sir, this is the best car I have ever seen". Wow... that post on Edmunds was right, is what I thought. But, they have seen nothing yet, the next day I went i switched my AC vents to Auto. This time it was a different valet, and again, I was totaly complimented on the car. Replies to this message: hush (Aug 03, 2009 8:48 am)
#411 of 428 Rear view mirror by tmacguy Aug 01, 2009 (11:20 pm)
I can not swing the rear view mirror up or down, only left and right. Is this normal? The mirror angle is too low for me and i have to duck every time to look back.   '09 XF Supercharged.

Replying to: tmacguy (Aug 01, 2009 11:17 pm) I probably do think too much of my car, but no matter where I go, people are always saying WOW!! It must be that there are not alot of these on the road. I have yet to see another and I travel all over the US.
#413 of 428 XF Tires by hush Aug 21, 2009 (6:52 am)
Has anyone had problems with the stock tires? are there any other choices in tires for a better ride?
